PREFACE. 



" Whose frown can disappoint the proudest strain, 
Whose approbation — prosper even mine." — Cowper. 

Being a frequent attendant on a series of Union Meetings, and subject, 
with many others, to restraints arising from the fact that the union ia 
Denominational rather than Christian (a highly important distinction not 
yet duly appreciated); and, moreover, being deeply affected, in common 
with all who heard it, by the pathetic announcement of the circum- 
stances connected with the death of one of our most active and useful 
helpers; it occurred to the writer, that, if he could do nothing more, 
he might resort to the unrusted wires of the harp of his youth, and the 
unchilled sympathies of his ideal guide, and, by embodying in a brief 
ballad the spirit and incidents of the dispensation, participate, to some 
extent, in the increase of passing utilities. Retiring, therefore, from the 
weeping assembly to his lonely study, he composed these impromptu 
verses. The next day they were presented to the conductor of the 
Prayer-Meeting at Jayne's Hall, prior to the funeral-services at Concert 
Hall. The morning after, they appeared in the North American and 
United States Gazette, and so became identified, in some measure, with 
the event they record. 

It has pleased God to give this little poem, in common with millions 
of other little things, both wings and voice. Its flight has already 
extended from sea to sea; and, among the mountains and prairies, the 
lakes and rivers, of the continent between, it has been read and sung, in 
city and country, in crowded halls and within the summer-darkened 
windows of vine-embowered homes. Short and simple as it is, it may 
yet have a wider mission to perform. 

If its stanzas do nothing more than assist in extending the dying charge 
of our lamented brother Tyng — " Stand up for Jesus !" — they may 
accomplish, by the grace of our- Lord Jesus Christ, and in connection with 
higher and more honored instrumentalities, saving and glorious results. 

Despise them not, therefore, but rather say, " God speed .'" 

Philvdelphia, August 2, 1858. E. M.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH. 



" The Rev. Dudley Atkins Tyng was descended on 'both sides from 
a race distinguished for its primitive and sturdy independence a»d 
integrity of character. He was born in Prince George's county, Mary- 
land, on the 12th of January, 1825. His father, the Rev. Stephen 
Higginson Tyng, D.D., at j^resent the beloved Rector of St. George's, 
New York, is the son of the late Dudley A. Tyng, long known as the 
Reporter of Decisions of the Supreme Court of this State, and the Srst 
Collector of the port of Newburyport, under the administration of Wash- 
ington. The latter married a daughter of the late Stephen Higginson, 
thus connecting the subject of this notice with families resident and well 
known in our own city. The mother of the deceased was a daughter of 
that noble 'man of God,' the late Alexander Viets Griswold, D.D., so long 
distinguished, honored, and loved as the Bishop of the Eastern Diocese, 
and afterward, on the division of the Diocese, of that of Massachusetts. 
An ancestry combining such marked qualities of mind and heart in the 
individual cases, is seldom found among family antecedents ; and in the 
character of the lamented deceased, there ivas exhibited a very decided and 
happy union of the most vcdued qualities thus illustrating his lineage." 

So spoke the Boston Courier, of April 29th, in an article acknow- 
ledged, by Mr. Tyng's father, as "beautifully prepared" and "highly 
satisfactory." With this introduction, I proceed to the following record, 
as sufficient for a sketch in such a position as this ; referring those who 
wish fuller information to the "Memorial," published in Philadelphia, 
and " The Child of Prayer," written by Dr. Tyng, and issued by Mr. 
Randolph, 683, Broadway, New York. 

In 1829, when Dudley was four years old, the family removed to 
Philadelphia, where his father became Rector of St. Paul's. 

In 1832, he lost his mother — " the dearest thing on earth, as bright a 
light as ever shone in the habitation of man, whose wonderful moral 
beauty and mental greatness seem to a great degree to have been repro- 
duced in her son." 

In 1834, by the transfer of his father, he first became connected with 
the Church of the Epiphany. 

In 1839, he entered the University of Pennsylvania. 

In 1841, he was converted, confirmed, and welcomed "to the Table of 
the Lord." 

8 



BIOGRAPHICAL SKETC: 



In 1843, he " was graduated with distinguished honor." 

In the same year, he went to the Theological Seminary, near Alexan- 
dria, Virginia. 

In 1846, "he was ordained by Bishop Meade, in Alexandria," and 
" immediately became assistant" to bis father in New York, whither the 
latter " had removed in 1845." 

In 1847, "he was invited to Trinity Church, Columbus, Ohio, where he 
passed two years, and received his second ordination from Bishop 
Mcllvaine." 

In 1849, he removed to Charlestown, Jefferson county, Virginia. 

In 1852, he removed to Cincinnati, Ohio, as Rector of Christ Church. 

In 1854, he removed to Philadelphia, and became Rector of the Church 
of the Epiphany — renewing, in a higher form, the connection of his 
childhood. 

In 1856, he resigned this charge : a new body was formed, called " The 
Church of the Covenant," — " and he was their minister from the 1st of 
December, 1856, to the time of his departure." 

During the last few months of his life, he was particularly active and 
useful in the Union Meetings, at Jayne's Hall and elsewhere, character- 
istic and promotive of the Great Revival. In the very height and 
happiness of this spiritual co-operation, tidings came from his country 
home to the city, that he had suddenly met severe bodily harm. His 
right arm had been caught and crushed in an agricultural machine. 
This was on Tuesday, April 13th, 1858. On Saturday the arm was 
amputated. On Monday he died. On Thursday the funeral-services 
were celebrated at Concert Hall ; and were distinguished by the partici- 
pation of ministers of different denominations, — Episcopal, Presbyterian, 
Independent, and Baptist; by the profound and weeping sympathy of 
a most crowded auditory; and by the concurrent solemnity and tender- 
ness of multitudes without, unable to gain admittance and yet unwilling 
to leave the precincts hallowed by such an occasion. The remains were 
removed, for the night, to St. Paul's Church, in charge of a committee 
appointed by the Vestry of the Church of the Covenant; and, the next 
day, conveyed to South Bergen, New Jersej', where they were "com- 
mitted to the dust." 

Seldom, if ever, has a more general and decided impression been made 
by the death of any young minister of the gospel than was made by that 
of Dudley A. Tyng. Numberless publications have described his noble 
character, his brave example, his useful influence ; and now his name 
and fame are part of the common and precious treasure of the Church of 
all lands and all ages. E. M.

Then shall be said the APOSTLES' CREED, by the Minister and 
the People— Standing: 

T BELIEVE in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven 
and earth : 

And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; Who was con- 
ceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary; Suffered 
under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried; He 
descended into Hell, The third day he rose from the dead; 
He ascended into Heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of 
God the Father Almighty; From thence he shall come to 
judge the quick and the dead. 

I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy Catholic Church, 
The Communion of Saints; The Forgiveness of sins; The 
Resurreftion of the body; And the Life everlasting. Amen.

" One stormy night in winter, about a year ago, when the snow covered 
the ground to a considerable depth, he started to go to his home. The 
marks of the roads were obliterated. He stopped upon his way and 
bought a hatchet and hung it at his saddle-bow. With this he cut down

progress until, late after midnight, he was folded in the bosom of his 
family." — Rev. Kingston Goddard. 

" As this delirious season passed, he was quiet, and with a very happy 
expression on his countenance, with his eyes closed, was speaking to his

" His beautiful private addresses to his wife and the different members 
of his family, and particularly to each of his little children, who were

separately 'good-night,' I cannot here describe, — all so spiritual, so sweet,

" I have not been allowed to have a single doubt of the Lord's gracious 
purpose, or of the certainty of his accomplishing unbounded good by this 
dispensation. I am ready to bow down at his feet in complete submis- 
sion, and say, with Abraham, 'Here I am.' " — "Ye who know the blessed- 
ness of bowing down the head like a bulrush, in sweet submission before 
a covenant God, alone can know the peaceful repose with which I looked 
upon that dear face — which had never met me but with the sweetest 
tenderness of filial affection ; on which I never saw *a single frown, or a 
single mark of rebellious temper ; which, for years, had been the manly 
index of a brother's heart, beaming with clear intelligence of the things of 
God, as well as the herald of a tender, loving child ; which in every rela- 
tion had been the joy and pride of my heart — now marked with the seal 
of death, — and was able to say, with Abraham, in my poor degree, * Lord, 
here I am — ^be it unto me according to thy word.' " — " And though he was 
' the breath of my nostrils, the anointed of the Lord,' under whose shadow 
I had hoped to pass my weary age, and to be gathered to my tomb under 
his tender and faithful ministrations, while he should fill after me the 
important posts of duty to which the Lord has been pleased to call me, 
and maintain my testimony after I had gone, I have nothing to say : 
* Good is the word of the Lord that he hath spoken.' ' Bless the Lord, my 
soul ! and all that is within me, bless his holy name.' " — Rev. Dr. S. IL Tyng.

'' He was asked if he wished to send any messages to his brethren in tho 
ministry or to his congregation. He answered, ' Not now : I am too much 
exhausted.' He reposed in silence for a few moments ; and then he opened 
his eyes with a very elevated expression, and said, in a loud and distinct 
voice, 'Now, father, I am ready. Father, stand up for Jesus. Tell 
them, Let us all stand up for Jesus. Let us all stand in Christ Jesus 
in prayer ; accepted in Christ, having no other claims than his righteous- 
ness, that Christ may be glorified forever.' Then again he sunk in repose 
and quiet for a season." — Child of Prayer, page 101.

Stand up for Jesus ! Listeners to that word — * 
** Ye that are men, go now and serve the Lord !" 
Only to serve in heaven, on earth I fall ; 
Ye who remain, ftill hear your comrade's call — 

Stand up for Jesus ! 



"Young Men's Christian Association. — Our departed brotlier took 
the deejiest interest in its welfare, and lent his talents and his time to 
promote the objects for which it has been formed. There were, also, 
certain peculiar circumstances connected with his death, which, it seems 
to me, have, in the providence of God, linked his memory indissolubly 
with the history of this Association ; so that as long as it shall hold its 
rank among the benevolent institutions of our city, his life and his death 
shall be as intimately associated with it as were the life and death of 
Joseph with the people of God in the land of their bondage." — Rev. K. 

GODDARD.

ADDITIONAL POEMS. 



A SONNET FOR JUNE 4, 1858. 



" Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old ; and 
hast thou seen Abraham?" — John viii. 57. 

Not far from fifty ! So, it seems, they thought ; 
And yet few more than thirty had gone by 
Since o'er Thy birth the still and starry sky 

Fill'd, thrill'd, with glory-music, angel-brought, 

And earth-enchanting. When the shepherds sought 
Thy baby-bed, and found Thy smile and voice 
More fair and sweet than all of heaven : " Rejoice 1' 

They might have sung — " For Thee all time hath 
wrought, 

All space hath treasured, bliss ! Thy course foretold, 
Thy lips. Thine eyes, sighs, tears, shall never know !" 
And yet, Christ ! Thy manhood bent below 

Our sins, and in Thy youth men thought Thee old 1 
I, this day fifty, still much older seem : 
0, sinless Saviour I sinful me redeem I 



®k feisten([^ n| (Sud. 



We need not soar above the skies, 

Leave suns and stars below, 
And seek Thee with unclouded eyes, 

In all that angels know : 
The very breath we here inhale, 

The pulse in every heart. 
Attest, with force that cannot fail, 

Thou art— God ! Thou art ! 

If, 'midst the ever-during songs 

Of universal joy, — 
The chime of worlds and chant of tongues,- 

The praise that we employ, 
May breathe its music in thine ear, 

Its meaning in thy heart ; 
Our glad confession deign to hear, 

Thou art— God ! Thou art ! 



ihc Initg 4 iod. 

When God — neglected or denied — 

From ancient tribes withdrew his grace, 

How soon the erring myriads strove 
With phantom forms to fill his place I 

On every hill, by every stream, 

All homes within, all waysides near, 

The hallow'd idols senseless stood, 

The helpless suppliants bow'd with fear. 

With gods for every foot of land 
And every pulse of passing time, 

In life no soothing peace they found. 
In death, no heavenly hope sublime. 

Thou, the true and living God ! 

Maker of all above — below ; 
Eternal — self-existent One ! 

How blest are we Thy name to know ! 

One God — enlighten'd faith adores ; 

One God — harmonious nature cries ; 
One God — our common Sire and Lord, 

The brotherhood of mind replies. 

To Thee — Supreme ! — to thee alone. 
Be hymns of highest glory sung ; 

The source of joy to every heart, 

The theme of praise to every tongue. 



ife irutit nil (BoL 



Can truth divine fulfilment fail ? 

Sooner shall star-crown'd nature die ! 
Truth is the very breath of God — 

Part of His own eternity ! 

Earth's every pulse may cease to flow, 
And every voice be heard no more ; 

The forest crumble on the mount — 
The sea corrupt upon the shore ; 

The moon's supply of light expire, 
The sun itself grow dense with gloom, 

And fairer systems, sphered afar, 
Dissolving, own the common doom. 

But long as stands Jehovah's throne, 
Long as His being shall endure ; 

So long the truth His lips proclaim 
Remains inviolably sure. 



®b i^ruit 34H^* 



Thy Goodness is my rofugc, Lord ! 

Here let me ever rest : 
I feel the Spirit of Thy word — 

Thou wiliest what is best ! 

Thy Knowledge is my refuge, Lord ! 

Here let me ever rest : 
I feel the Spirit of Thy word — 

Thou knowest what is best ! 

Thy Wisdom is my refuge, Lord ! 

Here let me ever rest : 
I feel the Spirit of Thy word — 

Thou choosest what is best ! 

Thy Power completes my refuge, Lord ! 

Here let me ever rest : 
I feel the Spirit of Thy word — 

Thou doest what is best ! 

Thou art our Perfect Refuge, Lord ! 

Here let creation rest : 
Charm'd by the Spirit of Thy word — 
' God's ways are always best !

(ALLUSION TO THE IIOtII PSALM.) 



Thy day of power has come ! 
This holy dawn divine ! 
And Zion's hills, renew'd in youth, 
With dews of beauty shine. 

Now may the promised grace 
Be fully shed abroad ; 
And all thy willing people haste 
To do the will of God ! 

The Father wills that Thou, 
Exalted at His side, 
Our only Prophet, Priest, and King, 
Forever shalt abide : — 

That all who love Thy name 
One Brotherhood shall be ; 
Kept by the standard of Thy word 
From all divisions free : — 

That all Thy foes shall bow 
Submissive at Thy feet ; 
And heaven and earth, with one accord, 
Thy perfect empire greet ! 

Let Jews and Gentiles cry — 
Amen ! God's will be done ! 
Jesus ! who died upon the Cross, 
We hail Thee on Thy Throne ! 



Bh Soi[d's |ooit. 



" Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of those my 
brethren, ye have done it unto me." — Matthew xxv. 40. 

Methought I saw the Son of God ! — 
The thorns still red, the nail-prints fresh : 

His patient look betray'd a pain 

Sharper than all that thrill' d His flesh. 

suffering, saving Lord of Love ! — 

Warm from my heart the language came, — 

OouUTst Thou forsake the Throne of Heaven, 
To bear, on earth, such woe and shame ? 

Thine own creation knew Thee not ; 

Thy chosen cried — Away ! away ! 
But all the ardor of my soul 

Entreats Thee, Master — stay, oh, stay ! 

I'll soothe Thy griefs, I'll heal Thy wounds, 
With trembling joy Thy brow unbind ; 

Gentile and Jew from me shall learn 
The common duty of mankind ! 

Lo ! crown'd with glory — changed. He stood I 
Sun-like the radiant bosom-scar, — 

His hands the orb and sceptre bore, — 
And shone on either foot a star ! 



How sunk my heart ! ashamed to know 
I could not bless the Lord of all ; 

When, suddenly and silently, 

A pale group came, at Jesus' call. 

Pointing to them — with smiles. He rose I 
But rising said, Disciple ! see : 

Though I depart, the poor remain : 
Kindness to them is love to me ! 



Communion tuith (Sod 



InfiniIely Perfect One I 
What consciousness is Thine I 

How different from the wondering awe 
That oft oppresses mine ! 

My nature is a living point. 

Round which the dead worlds roll : 

The space, that circles all their range. 
Concentres in my souh 

My nature is a living point, 

Round which the dead years roll : 

The time, that circles all their range, 
Concentres in my soul. 



My nature is a living point, 

Round which the faith-realms roll : 

Their spaceless, timeless, spirit-range, 
Concentres in my soul. 

Could I those amplitudes explore. 

This pressure might depart : 
But, here confined, their mysteries 

Lie heavy on my heart. 

When from this point I look abroad, 
Space seems too vast for me : 

And time — inexplicably sad ; 
And faith — like vanity. 

Yet am I but a floating film, 

Reflecting sea and shore ? 
Then, breaking with the stranded wave, 

Eternally no more ? 

Surely my anxious consciousness 

Claims some diviner state : 
'^ Fear not!'' — methinks I hear Thee say- 

" J5e humble, child, and to ait T' 

And wait I will! Still let the worlds 
All round and round me roll — 

Light, motion, music, from all space, 
Still pour into my soul. 

Let sins and ills of all time, past 

And present, pain me still : 
And faith-realms hide, unseen, unheard : 

Yet — humbly wait I will ! 



Let even death eclipse the scene, 
Still, while one ray is left — 

Until the darkness be complete — 
I shall not be bereft. 

Nor then ! — for life is all eclipse, 
And death is but its height : 

Then comes the oblivion of the shade 
In everlasting light. 

Then shall my consciousness expand, 

Till it resemble Thine : 
And, like my blessed Saviour, " all 

The Father hath" be mine. 

Infinitely Perfect One ! 

What consciousness is Thine I 
How different from the wondering awe 

That now oppresses mine ! 

Thy nature is the living whole ! 

All I believe and see, — 
All space, all time, all worlds, all life,- 

Are only points to Thee ! 

In thy serene immensity 

All mysteries are clear : 
And every breath at once reveals 

Its meaning in Thine ear. 

And it may be. Thou knowest not one 

Of all the worlds in space. 
Save this, where sin and death obscure 

The glorious reign of grace. 



And it may be, the lesson here 
Contemplates such avail. 

That love itself would weep to see 
Its consummation fail. 

So, let me humbly, calmly wait, 
Till all this life has flown : 

Then shall I see as I am seen, 
And know as I am known ! 



»i iible. 



Heedless of all inferior claims of power, 
Infallible authority I seek ; 
Authority Divine ; reveal' d in form 
That Sense may witness. 

Where can this be found : 
Tell, boasting sages ! where ? That such exists, 
Pale reason, faint with straying, fondly hopes ; 
And conscience warrants. 

Sadly may the soul 
Commune with nature ; question winds and waves, 
Woodlands, and wastes, and haunts of busy men, 
In darkness and in sunshine ; all is vain : 
Nor multitude nor solitude instructs. 



No radiant lines on earth's expanse display 
This priceless lore. The meadow's moisten'd mould, 
Soft with bloom-sprinkled growth of fadeless green, 
And dark with fragrant wings of flocking airs, 
Is blank and void. The mountain's rocky peak, 
Alone because of height, still, pure, and cold ; 
Bright challenge to an empire's farthest gaze : 
What is it, but a nameless monument ? — 
An unmark'd altar, bathed with holiest dews. 
Hung, morn and eve, with shrine of rose and gold, 
But served by seraphs none may see or hear. 

The ample sky in cloudless glory shines : 
Grand, with its solar orb in central pomp ; 
Rich, with its fulness of remotest stars ; 
Or beauteous with the pale and smiling moon. 
Watching, with matron love, the sleeping sphere. 
But all the golden urns that bless the eye 
With streaming lustre, leave the spirit dark. 

The early angels feel supreme constraint: 
No plume enchants the dawn ; and not a tone 
Charms the bland quiet of the sunset air. 
The prophets long have fail'd to lift their voice, 
Seal'd in the silence of forgotten tombs ; 
The once-rejected Son is now enthroned ; 
Inspired apostles walk the world no more ; 
No more the Spirit, in the inward ear 
Of souls that burn with rapture, breathes its fire — 
Quick thoughts in living language ; silent, all 
Old oracles ; all silent earth and heaven. 

The Sire himself is mute ; nor day nor night, 
In crowded city or in lonely glen, 



By one or millions is His utterance known. 

'Tis most profoundly solemn — this repose 

Of our Creator ! All things vocal round, 

Only in Him alive ! Himself alone, 

Unheard ! unheard ! Our Father's voice unheard ! 

Where then shall man resort ? Where find the law, 
Supreme and universal ? One to rule, 
Though violated all on earth beside. 

Behold ! a Book ! the Bible ! Book of Books ! 
Take — read — and think. But hold with reverent hand ; 
Regard with reverent eye ; with reverent mind, 
Receive its truth. Then press it to thy heart, 
Indulge thy grateful love, and, falling prone 
Before the Essential Presence, bless His name — 
Praise, ever praise for this excelling gift ! 

I muse and am amazed. Books, countless books. 
Countless as sands, and leaves, and flowers, and stars ; 
Yet here is one to which all else must yield. 
As gems unto the sun — the Book of God ! 
Genius draws near, ashamed ; and learning sighs, 
Smitten with conscious folly. 

Man may blow 
A bubble — breath divine creates a world. 
And yet the difference here is greater still ; 
And it w^ere better to destroy a world 
To save a bubble, than destroy this book, 
And let crown'd science reign from pole to pole. 



^itndM^^dtnol Imnw, 



If, while the Jewish ages 

Still added to the Word ; 
Kings, Prophets, Priests and Sages, 

Look'd vainly for the Lord : — 
How blest are we, to know Him 

So early in oar youth ! 
How gladly should we show Him 

Our love, in deed and truth ! 

If, when He came from glory, 

The angels flew to sing 
Redemption's opening story — 

The Birth-Day of the King :— - 
Well we may lift our voices, 

Rememb'ring how He died; 
While every heart rejoices 

To praise the Crucified ! 

If all who ever sought Him, 

Have had their sins forgiven ; 
And even children, brought Him, 

Are welcomed home to heaven : 
Look — look we all above us, 

And lift our hymn on high ; 
For He who so doth love us 

Is smiling from the sky ! 



(a simple hymn for the revival.) 



Lord ! we thank Thee, that the shining 
Of Thy face is not declining ; 
That the breathing of Thy blessing 
Still our heart-strings is caressing : 

So to prove Thee, 

So to love Thee, 
Oh, 'tis heaven on earth possessing ! 

Still Thy people are reviving. 
Sinners still for pardon striving ; 
Still Thy Spirit keeps in motion, 
On the land and on the ocean : 

Happy season ! 

Oh, what reason 
Find we now for full devotion ! 

Father ! Spirit ! leave us never ! 
Jesus ! help us, now and ever ! 
Brethren ! keep from worldly straying, 
Onward march without delaying, 

Lift the Banner ! 

Shout Hosanna ! 
Upward pressing, praising, praying !

*< My life-long power and effort have been in labors that all the 
people of Christ might be one. In nothing did I love the unity of my 
dear boy with me, so much as in his solemn, cordial purpose to work 
with me in this great line of Christian duty." — Rev. De. S. H. Tyng. 

*' We may come as near as possible to what some may call the 
deep and broad gulf that lies between us. How it is to be bridged 
over, I do not know ; but this I know, that I will stand as far on 
this side of it as I can, and will reach out to grasp the hand of my 
Congregational brethren on the other side ; and perhaps we may 
reach far enough to touch and hold each other fast, until, by the 
binding of loving hearts and hands, there may be constructed a 
living bridge, over which God's people may pass in spiritual union!" 
— Rev. Dudley A. Tyng, at a Congregational Celebration i?i Hew York. 

Among all the utterances on the subject of Christian Umon, in this city, since 
the commencement of the Revival, I have heard no one that sounded half so much 
like an inspiration from the '• Spirit of Truth" as the following, made bj' the Rev. 
Pennell Coomb, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in the Union Bible Meeting 
held in the First Presbyterian Church, Washington Square, in April. E. M. 

"Mr. President, can I have five minutes?" "Certainly," from 
the President. "I wish to express my dissent from an opinion of 
my brother Goddard [Episcopalian]. He says we do not mean to 
give up our denominational peculiarities. Sir, it is not a question 
of what we mean to do, but what we shall do. That book whose 
circulation we meet to promote says, that ' the watchmen shall see 
eye to eye.' 3lg brother cannot continue to do as he does, meet so 
cordially tvith other Christians, and love them as truly as he does, and 
yet cherish as icarmly as ever his denominational peculiarities. It is 
not in human nature. I understand this subject, sir. For the first 
twenty years after my conversion I hardly thought any one could 
be a good man unless he were a Methodist. The more I know of 
my brethren of other churches, the more I see I was mistaken. It 
is a great mistake for any brother to imagine that his branch of the 
church holds the perfect truth. We are all someiohat wrong. We 
mix icith the pure ore of God's truth, alloy of our own. This alloy 
God icill burn up. Formerly we could tell the denomination of a 
man by his prayers, but now people go to the union prayer meet- 
ings, and say they cannot tell what church the speakers and those 
who lead in prayer belong to. Whatever, then, ive mean to do, GOD 
MEANS TO MAKE US ALL ONE!"

I— THE NEW TESTAMENT. 

lu an editorial notice in tlie New York Independent, ive find the following 
rommendation of a very admirable edition of the New Testament, by the Rev. 
T. H. Stockton, of Philadelphia. " He has published, at his own charges, a very 
beautiful edition of the New Testament ; giving the text of the recent standard ed- 
ition of the American Bible Society, in paragraph form, and supplying to this text 
such indexes as are needed to make its contents most apparent, just such substan- 
tially as the American Society ought to publish, to fulfill its office and obey its 
constitution. Dr. Stockton publishes this in different forms, making two vols, or 
four vols, of the whole of the New Testament, or putting each book into a "tract" 
by itself as the purchaser may prefer. And his edition, especially in the four vol. 
form, is by far the handsomest, the most convenient for use, the most attractive in 
its whole style ever published anywhere, Avhether in this country or in England. 
It ought to Ijave, and undoubtedly will have, a very wide and useful circulation. 
If any of our readers desire the very best and most delightful edition of the New 
Testament, with the Text arranged in paragraph form, for their own use, or 
that of their childi-en and households, he is the man, at 1490 Chestnut Street, 
Philadelphia, (or 122 Nassau Street, in this city,) to supply it to them." 

From the Venerable and Reverend Dr. Nott, President of Union College, 

Schenectady , N. Y. — a cherished name in all the country. 

*' Having examined the first number of Stockton's Periodical New Testament, 
which number contains the Gospel according to Matthew, with a comprehensive 
Index, appropriate Introduction, and several beautiful specimens of Pictorial 
representations, it gives me pleasure to say, that the design of the work meets 
my entire approbation, and that its execution is all that the reader of the Bible 
could desire. It is to be hoped that the Editor will meet, in its exten-sive circula- 
tion, with that requital which such a tribute to the Sacred Literature of our 
country deserves. 

Vnion College, Sept. 14, 1S57. ELIPH'T. NOTT." 

II.— BIBLE TRACTS. 

" This enterprise is worthy of the highest commendation, and every one who 
can, should assist in the circulation of these tracts, for what is so likely to give 
light and understanding to the simple, as the entrance of God's "Word ?" — New 
York Chronicle. 

"Never before have we seen this inimitable Sermon presented in a form so 
attractive and impressive." — Western Methodist Protestant. — alluding to our 
Lord's Sermon on the Mount. 

m.-STUDENT'S MEMOBANDUM. 

Notices of the Stpdext's MEMORANcrM of the New Testament: "The 
plan, as a conservator of all valuable Scriptural Knowledge, is well conceived, 
and will afi"ord Minister.-^, Sunday-school Teachers and others, peculiar facilities 
for storing up matter for their work." — N. Y. Chronicle. 

"Mr. Stockton is also publishing the Student's Memorandum of the New 
Testament, a blank book, ruled and paged with reference to chapters, and 
valuable to those who are accustomed to study with the pen in hand. The poet 
says: ' Studium sine calamo somnus est.' " — Christian Intelligencer. 

IV.— THE BLESSING. 

A Good Book for Children : " It is preceded by a handsome .steel engraving 
of a family engaged in asking a blessing, and the letter-press is a development 
of the picture." — Am. Presbyterian. 

" This little work opens with a beautiful steel engraving, representing a house 
and the family that occupies it. The writer explains each one in succession, as 
found in the picture, and oflers suggestions of an amusing, pleasing and instruct- 
ive character. It is indeed a good book for good children."— C/irJ6<Jfl?i Chron.
